R. HAF IMS HOLDER FOR NECKTIES Filed Nov. 20, 1930 I11 vemor 2 r M Patented May 24, 1932 UNITED STATES RICHARD HARMS, OF LUBECK, GERMANY HOLDER FOR NECKTIES Application filed November 20, 1930, Serial No. 496,953, and in Germany November 18, 1929.

This invention relates to a clamping device for the stud loop on neckties. It is not new to attach a necktie to the stud by means of a loop. This manner of fixation presents the inconvenience that the loop, after the necktie has been pulled into the correct position is not always perfectly secured in its position for the reason that the securing has to be effected by the position of the loop in the holes of the holder through which the loop has to be passed.

This invention has for its object to ensure the secure fixation of the loop and consequently of the necktie in any position.

Two embodiments of the invention are illustrated by way of example in the accompanying drawings in which:

Fig. 1 shows the clamping device arranged on the rear side of the necktie and fitted with a plug.

Fig. 2 shows partly in section the slit sleeve with the clamping cap.

Fig. 3 shows the tongue on the bow for pushing the necktie away from the body.

In the knot 3 of the necktie 1, which in known manner is tied over an outwardly curved resilient piece 2, a sleeve 4 is arranged, the lower end of which projects from the knot. The outwardly curved resilient piece 2 keeps the necktie bulged. A loop 6 of wire. thread or other suitable material is threaded through the sleeve so that the ends 5 of the wire or thread project from the lower end a) of the sleeve 4. This loop 6 is placed over the collar stud. The necktie is then pushed upwards and securely held in this position by a plug 7 attached to the ends 5 of the loop 6 and inserted from below into the lower end of sleeve 4. The sleeve 4 is sewn into the knot of the necktie during manufacture and always remains therein.

As shown in Fig. 2 the sleeve 4 has a slit 8 and the ends 5 of the loop 6, instead of being attached to a plug, are attached to a cap 9. This cap 9 is to be pushed over the lower end of sleeve 4 which is compressed so that the ends of the loop are securely clamped in the slit 8 by the clamping effect.

As the clamping device is arranged on the rear side of the necktie it is not visible from the front.

As shown in Fig. 3 a resilient bent ton no 10 is arranged on the bow 2 said tongue being downwardly extending and engaging in the knot of the necktie so that the necktie is slightly pushed away from the body.

I claim:

1. A clamping device for the stud loop of neckties, comprising in combination with the necktie and the stud loop, a sleeve in and projecting from the lower edge of the knot of the tie, and a clamping means to which the ends of said loop are attached adapted to be connected with the lower projecting end of said sleeve.

2. A clamping device for the stud loop of neckties, comprising in combination with the necktie and the stud loop, a sleeve in and projecting from the lower edge of the knot of the tie, and a plug to which the ends of said loop are attached adapted to be inserted into the lower projecting end of said sleeve.

3. A clamping device for the stud loop of neckties, comprising in combination with the necktie and the stud loop, a sleeve in and projecting from the lower edge of the knot of the tie, having a longitudinal slit in its lower portion, and a cap to which the ends of said loop are attached adapted to be pushed over the lower projecting end of said sleeve.

In testimony whereof I atfix my signature.

RICHARD HARMS.
